Watermelon and Blueberry Salad

Years ago I ate a refreshing summer salad at a local pizza restaurant. We have long since moved away, but the salad is one that I love to recreate during the summer when watermelon is in season.

The salad was served with a balsamic vinaigrette, but any light salad dressing would be excellent on top. I like it with strawberry vinaigrette, lemon poppy seed, or my lemon vinaigrette.

I prefer to use goat cheese in the salad, but the day that I made it, we were out so I subbed out mozzarella cheese. I think the salad is better with a mild cheese.

I hope that you’ll try this delicious summer salad today and leave a comment below. Also, please follow @lifeabovethecafe on Instagram, Pinterest, or Facebook by using the social media icons found on this page.
